DOUBLE THROW SAFETY SWITCHES

The double throw safety switch is used in general duty and heavy duty applications as an economical means of manually transferring power. Both the general duty double throw and the heavy duty double throw safety switches are suitable for service entrance use with a neutral kit installed.

A double throw safety switch is sometimes referred to as a transfer switch. It performs the same function as a safety switch by opening or closing a circuit; however, its primary use is to transfer service from a normal power source to an alternate source (i.e., a residential generator) or to switch from one load circuit to another.

Eaton double throw safety switches are available for General Duty, Heavy Duty, or Heavy Duty Quick Connect.
